War Plan Red : the United States' secret plan to… von Kevin C. Lippert
An informative snippet of our relationship with our northern neighbors, and how that relationship has not always been so cordial.
some thought-provoking, and others, downright funny. A must for any writer, from beginners to established authors.
A bit slimmer than anticipated, but a good, if brief, summary on Can-Am border skirmishes and debates over the past 200 years of coexistence. Alas, the titular War Plan Red is not given a very thorough treatment (despite the book's Canadian focus, the plan was for war with the entire British Empire), but the juxtaposition with the eerily parallel Canadian Defence Plan No. 1 is much appreciated. So too are the appendices, which contain partial reproductions of both military plans.

A short, fun read for anyone interested in the history of relations between the USA and Canada.
The tone of the book is light, and writing style is casual.
My first thought was to give the book a 4-star rating, but it is a bit too short for that. As others have pointed out, it could easily be larger by putting things into context rather better. I can understand how the author might wish to focus on a single topic without getting bogged down in a rather complex topic, but he tends to be a bit too terse.… (mehr)
